For offroad campers in the Pacific Northwest, our advice is to keep the camper light, keep it narrow enough for forest roads and check the truck's payload before anything else. Our shop is in Monroe, WA.

Living with rain

Rain is the PNW's main design requirement. The goal is staying dry while you cook, change and get in and out, and keeping the camper itself dry in storage.

• Dry a canvas tent before long-term storage
• Pick a camp spot with a covered cooking option in mind

From Monroe to the rest of the Northwest

Installs and service happen at our shop in Monroe, WA, and nowhere else. If Monroe is out of the way, Frontier and Summit ship disassembled with free shipping to the contiguous US, and the assembly instructions walk you through putting one together and clamping it on at home. The Apex can be drop-shipped from the factory without its battery and needs a forklift to unload, so we recommend having it installed in Monroe. Fit is confirmed from your vehicle measurements.

Three campers, one question: how much truck do you have

• Summit: The wide-body pop-up. It clamps on the same way, weighs about 480 to 570 lb and sleeps three or four, with standing height of roughly 6 ft 7 in or more under the soft-wall tent. Extra headroom is what you notice on a rainy evening, when you want to cook and change clothes standing up.
• Frontier: The wedge pop-up. It clamps on with no drilling, weighs about 300 to 350 lb, sleeps one or two adults, and closes down to 9 inches tall, so it barely changes how the truck drives or parks.
• Apex: The four-season slide-in pop-up truck camper. It is fully welded aluminum with no wood and 1-inch XPS insulation, built to your bed length from 5 ft to 8 ft, with base weights from 1,029 to 1,316 lb.

Check your truck against the payload calculator before you decide; the weights above are the starting point, and gear and water add to them.
